Chapter 287 Formal Meeting
Huang Ling led a large group into the Kaiming Western Restaurant. She was familiar with everyone in the restaurant.
Because there are many customers coming, besides Songhelou, Kaiming Western Restaurant has the most customers.
Eight small and one big, three big guys and three half-grown boys, they can really eat me out of money.
Kaiming ordered another portion of shrimp.
There were many people who were cheerful, Dongzhe and Xie Zheyu were the most cheerful. Pengfei and Wu Jun were also visibly relaxed in front of Huang Ling, showing the cheerfulness that people of their age should have.
Everyone was having a great time eating and chatting.
Suddenly, Tunan stood up and left the table.
"Where are you going, brother?" Hongbin asked.
"Going to the bathroom." Dongzhe answered while dealing with the steak on the plate.
"Hurry up for the food," Xie Zheyu, who understood his brother, raised his chin and said, "The salads the three ladies ordered haven't arrived yet."
Pengfei forked a piece of his pork chop and threw it on Dongzhe's plate:
"Even eating can't stop your mouth! Xiaoting and Sister Shanshan are here!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so rude, I'm sorry ladies!" Dongzhe apologized repeatedly.
After a while, Tunan came back with a salad.
"Brother Tuanan, didn't you urge us to eat the shrimps? It's not me who wants to eat them! It's Xiaoting who wants to eat them. She didn't eat them just now." Dongzhe asked.
"I can't add any more. I thought there was one last plate, but it turns out I can't make any more." Tuanan said lightly.
Hearing this, Huang Ling raised her head, glanced at her son, and smiled gently.
"I noticed that you started calling her Xiaoting recently. Haven't you always called her by her full name since you were a child?" Tuanan still spoke in the same indifferent tone.
Dongzhe lowered his head to the plate.
Three seconds later, Dongzhe thought of a reason: "After she changed her name during the winter break, I kept calling her by the wrong name. Then I just called her by her name, and it didn't make any mistakes."
Xiaoting rolled her eyes at him.
He clearly stopped calling her Zhuang Xiaoting before he changed her name, but started calling her Xiaoting from the day he gave her the pen.
Not long ago, Huang Ling changed Xiaoting's name, and now she is called Huang Xiaoting.
First, we will start collecting high school exam information at the beginning of the next semester, which just happens to be the case as we can use the new name after high school.
Second, Huang Ling was sure that Xiaoting was no longer affected by her parents' divorce.
Before the change, Huang Ling called Tuanan to inform him, but she did not inform Zhuang Chaoying as she felt there was no need.
"So that's how it is! I thought you had something to ask her!" Tuanan teased.
"What can I ask her for if I ask her for help?" Dongzhe was very stubborn.
Tunan's gaze drifted to a place not far away from time to time.
Huang Ling saw it, and Xie Zheyu also saw it. He soon discovered the clue and said to Huang Ling:
"Aunt Huang, there's an alumnus from our school over there. Tunan and I are going to say hello."
"Alumni! Go quickly!" Huang Ling also turned around and waved to Gu Xingyan and Li Yaoyao.
Xie Zheyu bumped into Tu Nan and the two walked over.
Dongzhe also stretched his neck to look, and just saw the waiter deliver a plate of cooked shrimps to Li Yaoyao and Gu Xingyan's table.
"Okay, now I know where our shrimps went." Dongzhe sighed.
Wu Shanshan never spoke to Xie Zheyu. Xie Zheyu seemed to understand what she meant and did not speak to her either.
At this moment, she couldn't help but look over there.
Two beautiful and elegant college students from prestigious universities.
She looked away and picked at the food in the bowl.
After a while, the two came back.
Huang Ling observed Tuanan. Based on her experience, she knew that nothing had been decided yet, so she did not ask any more questions.
Everyone left the restaurant at about the same time.
Huang Ling was the only elder here, so Gu Xingyan and Li Yaoyao came over to say hello.
"Hello, Aunt Huang."
"Hello."
Gu Xingyan looked at Huang Ling with a smile.
Huang Ling wore a high-quality black long coat, had fashionable curly hair, and wore light makeup. She looked much younger than her actual age, and her lipstick was obviously applied after dinner.
Gu Xingyan still remembers that in front of the train station, Huang Ling, wearing a black short leather jacket, swiftly opened the door of the van and got into the driver's seat.
At that time I just thought she was so cool, but now she has another kind of beauty.
This time, Huang Ling finally saw Gu Xingyan up close. She was pretty and playful, and her personality complemented Tuanan's. Her every move and gesture showed that she had good upbringing.
"It's getting dark, let Zheyu and Tunan see him off! The New Year is almost here, it's unsafe to run into drunks." Huang Ling suggested.
The girl was not afraid at first when the two men came to her, but after hearing Huang Ling's next words, she became a little scared and did not refuse.
On the way back from sending the person off, Tunan asked Xie Zheyu:
"Did you tell my mother anything?"
Xie Zheyu shook his head.
"Then why is my mom acting so weird?"
"What's strange about it? I don't think it's Auntie who's strange, it's you who's strange, that's why Auntie noticed something." Xie Zheyu looked at his good brother.
“…”
Wu Shanshan, Wu Jun and Dongzhe returned home together.
As soon as I entered the house, the bowl of rice was still on the table.
Wu Jianguo knew that Huang Ling was treating the two children to dinner today, but he still asked in a fake tone:
"It's time to eat!"
"If you haven't eaten it, could you leave some for us?" Wu Shanshan glanced at the empty bowls on the table and sneered.
Whenever the two siblings came home late due to some small matter, they might not have a meal. Wu Jianguo, who was well fed, didn't care at all. When asked, he would just tell them to soak some cold rice in hot water, or else he would let them cook it themselves.
Zhang A-mei was sarcastic:
"He's now hanging out with rich people, how could he even look down on the food of poor people like us?"
Wu Jun continued: "Yes, it's all because of mom. Why do they have money but we don't?"
Zhang A-mei angrily said, "Wu Jun, you're looking for a beating, aren't you?"
"If you smoke, I'll pack my bedding and go live at the neighborhood committee." Wu Jun never gets angry. He always looks smiling, but he says the most heart-wrenching words.
Zhang Min threw the magazine in the room and said, "Mom! Can you please stop messing with them? Can we please keep the house quiet for a while? If this continues, I'll live on campus during the winter and summer vacations and won't come back! They keep quarreling every day, and there's no end in sight!"
Zhang A-mei got angry when she heard Zhang Min's words:
"What are you yelling about! Get up and read! I work every day for you! I want you to feel better, and you treat me like this! You said we changed your choice of major, but you hate us. Even if we didn't change it, which factory could you go to with your grades? Which factory would want you?"
"If you don't want it, then don't want it! I'll just lie here at home!" Zhang Min said without any politeness.
"Zhang Min! Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
"You have a good life every day, but you have to make things difficult for everyone. It's not me who wants to piss you off to death, it's you who wants to piss yourself off to death!
You can't compare to others, men can't compare to others, you have no money, no connections, just live honestly! If you scold Wu Shanshan, Wu Jun, Wu Jianguo and scold me, will the money come?
Zhang A-mei was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.
Wu Shanshan's grades have always been at the top, but Zhang Min failed several final exams because of her distracted thinking.
If this continues, she may not be able to graduate and will lose the qualification to work in the factory.
So when Zhang A-mei saw Wu Shanshan, she wanted to scold him, and when she saw Wu Jun, she wanted to slap him.
Forget about that. On New Year’s Eve, a dramatic scene happened.
